Employee injured when roof collapses from forklift collision

At approximately 2:30 p.m. on June 19, 1992, Employee #1 was driving a forklift forward, transporting a load to the finished material aisle. The forklift struck a 5 1/2 inch diameter pole that supported one of the I-beams. The pole buckled under the force of the forklift and the weight of the roof. Approximately 8 percent of the total roof fell. Employee #1 sustained minor injuries. Employee #1 did not see the pole because his view was blocked by the carriage of the forks.
